Frequently Asked Questions

  • Breathwork is more than simply “taking deep breaths.” It is the science and practice of understanding how the way we breathe affects the body and mind, and how we can use breathing intentionally to change our state.

    It can help reduce stress and anxiety, gain clarity and focus, improve sleep quality, improve breathing efficiency and perform better under pressure.

    Through good education around optimal breathing mechanics — such as nasal, gentle, slow, and expansive breathing — and by learning different breathwork tools to alter your state, these benefits can become habitual. Over time, breathwork becomes a natural part of your health and performance routine, consistently helping you live in a calmer, clearer, and more composed state.

  • A typical first session with Jack usually includes:

    • A conversation about your goals, needs, and any prior experience with breathwork

    • Time to ask questions and clarify what you’d like to achieve

    • An assessment of your current breathing patterns and tendencies

    • Education around healthy breathing mechanics (nasal, gentle, slow, expansive) and why they matter

    • Guided practice of a calming breathwork exercise so you can feel the immediate benefits of nervous system regulation

    • Personalised advice or a program to help you move toward your goals
